PARTIAL SETBACK for RÜMEYSA ÖZTÜRK, the Tufts grad student taken by ICE in March: Judge Sessions transfers her request to restore her SEVIS record (for US work authorizatino) to D. Massachusetts, but denies the Gov's motion to dismiss Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Background thread from May: bsky.app/profile/john...
Err, forgot to tag this Öztürk update #ozturk. It occurs to me that the transfer case might get back the FRCP 5.2(c) immigration case restrictions and we'll have to figure out what access to the case in D.Mass looks like. Still, a trip to the Seaport is a lot less annoying than a trip to Vermont.
One day later, Öztürk's severed claims/case do/does not appear to have yet been transferred to Massachusetts.
Finally, Thursday afternoon, the severed SEVIS (ha, ha) claims in Öztürk's case make it to Massachusetts, 1:25-cv-12334, before Chief Judge Denise Casper. [ did they send it by carrier pigeon from Vermont? ]
